I Got the Right One, Baby

This Xian Xian Supermodel with short, straight auburn hair is as she was upon arrival.


I received a refund from the China website whose merchant sent me the incorrect doll (seen on the right in this photo). I reordered the desired doll (shown above) from a different merchant on that site. She arrived this past weekend, wrapped in bubble wrap inside a thin plastic mailer, thankfully, without any issues. 

This photo illustrates the extra articulation underneath the breasts, at the elbows, wrists, and at the knees.

This doll uses the same head sculpt as the Xian Xian (XX) Supermodel dolls shown here. The short, straight auburn hair and facial screening colors differ from my other XX dolls. I didn't think I would like the pink eyeshadow, but it isn't as evident in person as it is in some pictures. 

Dressing Her

I didn't have anything in mind for her to wear, initially, and started to go with one of the original denim fashions purchased for my XX supermodels. Instead, I opted to create another Clueless-inspired look as illustrated in the next series of pictures.

She wears the crop top and shirt of a three-piece suit and black Barbie mules.

Her first close-up illustrates her pink eye shadow and pink lip color. 

I Saran wrapped her hands before putting on the coat to prevent the stiletto fingernails from snagging the inside of the coat.

With the coat on, the look is almost complete.


This is her second close-up photo. Charge the blurriness of her right eye to the camera's flash.

With her bare legs covered with a pair of black fishnet stockings, the look is enhanced.

She needed a hat to complete the look, and this one did so after a few modifications.

The above hat was originally brown with a brown tulle floral accent, three gold beads, and a brown feather. I painted the hat black with a brown liquid eyeliner (that looks and acts like a felt-tip marker). I painted the brown flower black and added white acrylic paint in the center of each tulle petal for contrast. Lastly, I painted the three gold beads white. 

I needed long drop earrings to add to her pierced ear lobes that her stiffened auburn hair covers, but none were available. So she remains earring-less until I find a suitable pair.

The Complete Look

Two full-length poses illustrate the total Clueless look.

A profile photo and a photo from the back further illustrate this look.

She poses with my Defa Lucy Studio doll.

The new girl towers over my Defa Lucy Studio doll in the above pose, with both dolls sporting the Clueless fashion statement.

I now have a total of five Xian Xian-marked dolls. They pose together in the last two photos.

Do I need a black-haired version of the new girl? Probably.

  1. These dolls are really amazing for coming from a cheap seller site. The variety is incredible! She looks very nice in her suit and hat. I love how you customized it so it worked better with her outfit. The hair color is really nice, and I like the short hair style.

    1. Thank you, Michelle. They are nice dolls for the price. I made a mistake and failed to soak the black fishnet stockings in boiled water to remove any residual dye and to prevent it from staining the doll's legs. She wore the stockings for 24 hours before I remembered I had not done this. Tiny black specks were on the back of her legs and the tips of her toes were stained. I soaked the stockings in boiled water, applied acne cream to the stained legs, and left her on a windowsill for three days. Most of the stains faded, but some of the original vinyl coating faded from the back of her legs. (I rotated her from front to back while she was on the windowsill.) I'll just have to remember not to use black stockings or remember to boil the dye out before putting them on my dolls in the future.

    2. The only good thing there is that usually the backs of the legs are covered or at least not in sight, same as feet. How irritating though to have to remember one more thing!

    3. That's true about the coverage and about having to remember one more thing. If she has to wear tights for the rest of "her life" that will be okay. :-)
